The Memorandum of Understanding aims to enhance students’ essential knowledge, capabilities, and information technology skills through hands-on learning experiences, including senior projects, internships, and cooperative education in collaboration with the Association. This partnership will provide students with opportunities to broaden their knowledge and develop research outputs or innovative solutions that align with market and industry needs. Furthermore, the collaboration emphasizes the integration of technological and business knowledge by applying business insights to research that responds to market demands. It also aims to promote research and academic cooperation between the education and private sectors, leading to tangible outcomes that can be effectively applied in practice. In addition, this collaboration plays a vital role in fostering and developing high-quality human resources by encouraging students to undertake internships with companies within the Association’s network of committee members in related fields, such as e-commerce, digital advertising, content creation, fulfillment, payment services, and event agency services. These experiences will provide students with valuable hands-on experience and prepare them to confidently transition into the professional world in the future.
